Thanks Yaser for the explanation. It wasn't as clear just by reading the README.
I guess we'll see in the future. Languages usually stick around because they are solving at least one issue programmers are having, in combination with some marketing and the right early adopters.
Could this be also a playground for new TypeScript features?
(lol for the person asking after 5 minutes the project has been released if they can use async/await :P)
Regarding the topic of solving "accidental complexity" I'm waiting for the release of Dark (though I never understand why programmers would use generic words to name their language :D). The aim of Dark is bigger I guess, they aim to decrease all complexity, not just in the language but in the tooling as well. I believe it's built in OCaml.
You know what I love about your comments, rhymes... I always learn something new from them!
This is the first time I hear about Dark, I've gone through their website and so... all are marketing information, nothing really technical.
What interested me, is the team behind it... one is the founder of CircleCI and another was a product manager at KickStarter. Surely, they will get tons of funding!
Can't wait to see the actual product in the future...

This says it all 😆

To be honest, I don't see any potential feature... I just see a whole different perspective of programming (that says it's less error-prone), and many programmers are gonna promote that (if proven successful).

You can read a DEV post on it as well:

Let me know your thoughts about both things!
